TestStand and LV runtime "Unable to load xxx.vi with the labview runtime engine" - Internet Access Required??

[Callacaz]

Hi,

I've seen a number of these posts so far but none specific to my issue.

I've developed using LV2015 and TS 2014 on the same machine that I now have LV2015 runtime environment and TS 2014 SP1 Runtime environment installed on.

When the PC has internet access, neither myself (as developer) or test technicians (runtime users) have any issues whatsoever.

Remove the internet access and I can still run as a developer but the runtime users see the error message in title, for every single VI. We can see the steps in the sequence, the pre-loading is more or less instant and then we cannot run the tests due to the error messages.

If we restore the internet access, the issues disappear and the test functions perfectly again. My problem is that the test kit is off-site with no internet access (& no way of getting it either) in a specialised test facilitiy.

I want to know why it would need internet access and how could I get around this? The licenses are both local and we have switched off the preference to search for a Licence volume server in the license manager, all of the search directories are are also local to the C:\.

I'm at a bit of a loss here and would hugely appreciate any help I can get.

I think the key is to try and narrow it down.  First thing is to try and determine if it LV or TS.  Could you take a simple VI from your build and create a simple sequence file calling it and run it on the machine in the mode that doesn't work? 

Remove as much as possible down to what is actually causing the issue.  Are you using a package that requires internet access?  Or shared drive access somehow?
